Reconnecting With an Important Book: Lies My Music Teacher Told MeOne of my Sisters sent me an amazon.co.uk gift certificate for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to use it to replace a couple of music books that have been a staple part of my collection for ages but went missing around the time I left the US. Now, one of them I now know is in a good home: GZ reminded me that when she couldn’t find it, I’d told her just to keep it, and her house is a good place for it. The other I’m still not sure about, and I know for a fact that this is the
third copy of this book I’ve had.
We’ll talk about that book,
The Musical Life and How to Live It, by W.A. Mathieu, sometime soon, I promise. But today I want to talk about the more important of the two books, the one I told GZ she could keep. It’s a slim little volume, under 200 pages, and it’s the most important music theory book I’ve ever owned.
